$7.6 Million Later, Tropicana Casino Fees Still Rolling In

As many gamblers know, things can get expensive in a hurry in Atlantic City. The latest proof is the Tropicana Casino and Resort, where the 20-month effort to sell the business has racked up nearly $7.7 million in legal and consulting fees, with still more to come. Among those being paid: Conservator and retired state Supreme Court Justice Gary Stein received $829,468, and his law firm, Pashman Stein, got almost $1.3 million. Debevoise & Plimpton received $3.2 million, and bankruptcy law firm Cole Schotz got $1.1 million.
